Hyperledger Fabric based Medical Record Security

Abstract

Hyperledger Fabric is a permissioned distributed ledger framework for developing solutions and applications that works at the enterprise grade. It is one of the latest blockchain framework that is built as foundation for developing products, solutions, and applications based on blockchain. Lately, the pandemic has changed a lot in the medical system throughout the world. Patients required immediate attention where doctors were scarce. This has led to the implementation of blockchain technologies for designing online applications to provide patients with better and secure services. The private blockchain is implemented using Hyperledger Fabric that records the patients' data. This provides better security and prevents loss of data through redundancy. Blockchain has gained popularity lately due to the rise of the cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum etc. Their value has sky-rocketed with the amount of attention they gained during the pandemic. An application of blockchain technology i.e. Distributed Ledger Protocol (DLT) called Hyperledger Fabric developed by Linux Foundation is used to solve many business use cases like storing health records, managing financial transactions etc.
